A citizen not having standing to sue in court to prove a presidential candidate meets the qualifications is like taxation without representation. The courts are a branch of government that checks and balances the other two branches...if U.S. citizens aren’t a party with an interest in whether a candidate is qualified under the U.S. Constitution to be president then who is? The lawsuit simply asks for Mr. Obama to produce a certified copy of birth certificate. This “SHOULD” be a mandate for presidential candidates...and not their copy but a copy issued by the state...sent from the state to the F.E.C.

As much as I don't like the result, the judge made the correct ruling. Obama only connection to the US at this time is as a Senator. The case was filed in Fed court challenging his standing to be President of the US. Since he isn't the President, and the elections he is running in, although for a Federal office, are State elections yet to be held, the Fed court really can't do much before the fact.

The mistake Berg made is that he filed the case in the wrong court. The proper court would be the State court where he could argue to have Obamanot thrown off of the state ballot for being ineligible due to his apparent citizenship problems.

So filing in State circuit courts is where it should happen...well we know what will happen in Florida..lol

How about PA state Court..and Ohio..and Virginia? How about Illinois?? Iowa? Wisconsin? Indiana? Missouri? California? New York and New Jersey?....could be interesting....

Agreed. Voters choose electors, electors choose candidates, it’s not until Congress actually is declaring a winner that the issue really begins, and it’s not until the Chief Justice swears the winner in that we have a crisis. Law is a funny thing in being so damn precise, and everything has to be exactly right for a challenge to work.

Indeed, the problem at this level is with the states: they’re the one putting him on the ballot and sending electors to vote for him.

The one value to going to the Supreme Court is reminding the Chief Justice that it’s ultimately up to HIM to vet the winning candidate identified by Congress.
